Tropical Storm Bill (2015)
Hurricane Ike (2008)
Hurricane Alicia (1983)
Brownwood subdivision in Baytown was a beautiful place to live, but its vulnerability to coastal flooding was its downfall. Sea-level rise and subsidence enabled salt-water flooding to occur with increasing frequency through the 1960s and 1970s. In 1983, Hurricane Alicia produced a large surge that destroyed much of the area, causing hundreds of homes to be abandoned. Note: Around 1:30-1:40 into the video a man says he moved into a home that he later learned flooded in Carla in 1961.
